RIVERBANK COMMUNICATIONS CELEBRATES $1 MILLION RAISED IN CALENDAR YEAR

Political candidates see big returns from Riverbank fundraising

------------------------------------------------------

MANCHESTER, NH September 15, 2008─Veteran New Hampshire public affairs agency, Riverbank Communications, LLC (Riverbank) proudly announced today that the firm’s fundraising clients had eclipsed $1 million raised in one year. 

Riverbank expanded its operations in September 2007, by offering full-time, professional fundraising services to political candidates and non-profits. Beginning with the record-breaking $300,000 raised for Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta’s successful reelection campaign and continuing into this year’s state and federal campaigns, Riverbank’s clients have received over $1 million to fund their campaigns.

            “I am proud of the results we have been able to provide to our fundraising clients,” said Craig Smith, Riverbank’s founder. “Raising money in today’s economy is certainly challenging. The combination of the tireless work ethic of our clients and Riverbank’s systematic approach to fundraising has proven to be a highly successful pairing.”

            “Riverbank Communications provided our campaign with invaluable fundraising expertise that enabled us to raise close to $600,000 for our Congressional Primary race,” commented Greg Moore, Campaign Manager for Stephen for Congress. “Without Riverbank’s tireless efforts, meeting our fundraising goals would have been very difficult.”
